The lectures incorporated film clips and discussed topics about ancient cinema. Midterm was a short hand-written essay in person, but I believe it was graded pretty fairly and TAs prepare you well for the midterm. Final was also a few multiple choice questions and a hand-written essay, but again I felt that I was well prepared by my TA and the multiple choice questions were based on general concepts from class. If you pay attention in class and have a general understanding of the films, the exams will be easy.

I really enjoyed this class! Overall it's more of a film class than a Classics class but you do get a mix of education on film techniques and genres, ancient stories, and Ancient Greece. If you liked Greek Mythology as a kid I would really recommend this class, or if you like movies. I highly recommend actually watching the movies and doing the reading because it'll make the class far more interesting and comprehensible. The Professor had a wealth of knowledge and I enjoyed the way he structured and taught. I didn't love that the class wasn't recorded and notes were not published but going to class for a few hours a week where all you have to do is listen, watch, and take some notes is pretty fun!
